I think you are confusing the language with the compiler. The license gives you the right to take the compiler sources and do basically anything with it. But if that modified compiler compiles a different language than the official 'D', that does not automatically mean that you have the right to call that language fork 'D' and publish it on the D forum. I don't say that it's forbidden, it's just not covered by the compiler license. Tobi
